Finally

There is a road, no simple highway,Between the dawn and the dark of night,And if you go no one may follow,That path is for your steps alone.

We have a number of feral cats that patrol the fence line behind our home. They range for many blocks based on sightings from our neighbors. The Old Woman has taken to feeding them in the hopes that one of them allow her to touch them. The food trough is just out the door, but so far, they remain suspicious of humans and bolt if you touch the doorknob.

The gray is our favorite.

March 25: We are three weeks away from departure. I continue to go to physical therapy, but now only twice a week. I have washed and ironed the curtains that hang in the kitchen and bathroom and I am getting ready to stock up the kitchen. For those that don't travel in a RV, it's like moving. You have a new kitchen to supply with essentials. But this is exciting for us. If only the weather would cooperate. We have to get both vehicles in for maintenance.

April 2: We have started packing - yea! When we got home last August, we took everything out of Koko so that she could get a really good cleaning since a lot of the trip was where there was a red dirt blowing. Since we downsized our house, we don't have extra storage space, so I put everything up someplace. I keep finding things that needs to go in Koko. I have lists of most everything, but I still keep finding stuff that is not on a list. I wonder how much stuff I will leave at home.

We got new foam in our lounge/bed area. We told the owner of the business, who happens to have a motor home, that we wanted firm. He said he certainly understood. Well, we picked up the cushions, put them in the rig, and they are firm. No memory foam needed. They really gave us our money’s worth, somehow they were able to put more foam in than they took out. The cushions are an inch higher.

I will continue to do my shoulder therapy when we are on the road and take pain pills with me. The therapist tells me that I have to do exercises as long as I have a problem, but no one knows how long that will be.

Announcements:

We don’t plan on sending out notices when we update the blog this year. We update it about every week, so check when the mood strikes you. Another change, we may not be real specific about some of our boon dock locations. We have found that sharing secret locations is often one-way deal. So we will play along. We have another web site that lists the best ones and folks that have shared with us know about it.

Launch date is Sunday. All the vehicles are serviced. I did not get two items done. Mañana.
